How Will He Not Also?

"God gave up Jesus for us. He washed our grime with the bloody grace. He drove the iron ore through His own vein. Doesn't that memory alone suffice? Need there be anything more? If God didn't withhold from us His very own Son, will God withhold anything we need? If trust must be earned, hasn't God unequivocally earned our trust with the bark on the raw wounds, the thorns pressed into the brow, your name on the cracked lips? How will He not also graciously give us all things He deems best and right? He's already given the incomprehensible. The counting of all blessing is ultimately summed up in the One."
-Ann Voskamp

Romans 8 - "He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?! Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies! Who is to condemn? (Nobody!) Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? (Nobody!) Shall tribulation (nope), or distress (no way), or persecution(not even then), or famine(feast on Christ), or nakedness(complete in Thee), or danger(I have learned to be contentent whatever the circumstance), or sword(trials are blessing from the Hand of the Lover)? As it is written,
"For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered."



No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."









Everything comes down to us being loved by God. If we are loved by God, that changes everything. He who did not spare His only Son...how will He not also give us everything we need? How will He not give us what is BEST? How will He not also?
